Why It's What's Inside Fat Princess That Counts

When Sony's upcoming Fat Princess was announced last year, it made quite a splash -- for that kicky title, and for its slightly morbid twist on rescue-the-princess team play.

Multiplayer teams of up to 32 can battle royale for a rotund cartoon princess -- and can make things harder on each other by feeding her with sweets to make her heavier.

For obvious reasons, both the game's name and its central mechanic were a little bit sensationally controversial at the time Fat Princess was announced, but producer Chris Millar says there were no such intentions.
